Setting Up EC9535 Communication
The control cards of the EC9535 can communicate with UniConfig either through diagnostic
serial ports or over Ethernet.
Each control card has 2 diagnostic connectors, both DE9. One is at the front of the control card
and the other is located at the rear of the EC9535, labeled ‘DIAG’. You can use either one.
Each control card also has an Ethernet port.
For the control card and UniConfig to communicate, the Ethernet or serial port must be initial-
ized in UniConfig. The EC9535’s IP address must be configured, initially, using a serial connection
between UniConfig and the EC9535.
Connections
This diagram shows the physical connections required the EC9535:
After you have made the physical connections between the EC9535 and the SMS7000 and
between the EC9535 and the router, you can make a connection between UniConfig and the
EC9535. This connection can either be serial or Ethernet.
The initial connection must be made to the diagnostic connector at the front of one of the
EC9535’s control cards. Using this connection, you can set up the control card’s IP address and
the Baud rate for its DIAG connector. If the EC9535 has a secondary control card, do the same for
the secondary control card.
For details regard the initialization of the EC9535, see
Communicating with the Router for the
EC9535 and Router Baud Rates
The Baud rates of the EC9535 and the router must match.
The EC9535’s ‘CTRL 1’ serial port must be set to the same Baud rate as the router’s ‘CTRL 1’ serial
port rate. By default, the NV8288, NV8288-Plus and NV8500 family routers have the ‘CTRL 1’
ports set to 38,400 Baud. However, the number of destinations that can be switched per frame
under SMS7000 is determined by the EC9535 and the router’s Baud rates. You might want to set
the serial ports at the highest available rate (115,200 Baud) unless doing so results in communi-
cation errors.
Note
Each control card in the EC9535 must be configured separately and identically.
